The logs for bug #87131 claim it's been fixed. I see that version of
libstdc++ is the one I grabbed from incoming, so maybe it wasn't fixed
after all :-(

It is out of date, but I built the most recent version and it, too, has
this problem.
What's the solution? ie, should libc0.2 be providing gconv-modules, or
should gtk+ not depend on it on the Hurd?

Ok.

There's also stuff in /var/lib/texmf (the tetex packages, maybe).
/var/* seems to be owned by me.
Stuff from dpkg..stuff in /etc (default, debian_version, skel, issue..)
I think base-files also has bad ownership.
So does debian-utils.
Hm, everything in /root and a bunch of other files root created seem to
be root.daniel. I should check my ids next time I'm fiddling with the Hurd;
that may be the problem..

As far as I know, sawfish is threadless. wmaker might be better standalone,
though, since sawfish doesn't have a pager (or I suppose I could get spager
working..)
/me prays that neither of them uses MAX_PATH_LEN.
